About Dara
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi families! I'm a 28-year-old doula/nanny with a special love for supporting infants and growing families. I've had the joy of working with twins (2019), triplets (2021), and several single-infant families (2024) followed by my last full time job where I was responsable for a 3-month-old along with a 15 months old baby, as it gives me a strong foundation in newborn and early-development care. From managing breast milk and soothing reflux to easing separation anxiety and helping little ones settle to sleep, I'm confident and calm in all the big and small moments. I am known for being super protective and I like watching closely for anything unusual, body temperature, noticing a diaper rash early, or keeping track of burping for exemple. I aim to create a nurturing, safe, giggle-filled environment where babies can thrive and parents can feel completely supported. I'd love to bring my experience, intuition, and dedication to your family. I'd love to hear back from you!

Dara took care of my 3 month old special boy. She held my baby as much as he needed to be held, preparared the bottles and watched for how much he was drinking each time, and even keeping track of his feces as well as watching for color changing or consistency which I found to be very helpful. She also would sing songs in Portuguese to him and I didn’t know what it meant, but it sounded beautiful haha. She cared for him in 2022 just during my postpartum period and I don’t know how she did it but my son would always stop crying when she started to hold him so points to her haha I don’t have any cons but sometimes she would forget the lights on before she leaves and my husband is tight with money lol (I forget the lights on too).
